If I remember correctly, the iOS binaries had DRM that linked them to your Apple ID. That was my biggest fear for future preservation of then-contemporary apps. Does this emulator work around the DRM?

Not currently. The website has this snippet of information:
Note that the app binary must be decrypted to be usable. Also note that you can’t directly use .ipa files right now, you’ll need to unzip it (this may be easier if you rename it to end in .zip first) and get the .app bundle out of it.

Sadly I don't hold the magic keys to decrypt DRM'd apps, and therefore touchHLE doesn't either, but but there are known techniques for removing it (using a real device).
